I took the three photos above from the sunset viewing area close to the Mauna Kea Visitor Information Station at 9,200 foot (2,800 meter) altitude. (We did not go to the top during this visit to the Big Island; we did so two years ago.)

On the beach at Kalapana I always feel on the edge of the world, sandwiched between the sky marbled with clouds, the Pacific Ocean splashing against the bluff and the lava from Kīlauea all around. It's exhilarating.
